The Huangmen, who was with him, was the first time he had seen the bold, so he sat beside Liu Hong openly.

The key is the Huangmen who is the attendant, in this case, he can only come forward and pour Liu Tao a glass of wine. This glass of wine was the hardest in his life. For fear that His Majesty would suddenly blame, maybe Liu Tao would be unlucky, but he would be unlucky.

Fortunately, Liu Hong didn't blame him, just raised his glass and greeted Liu Tao.

The latter raised his wine glass, and after Liu Hong drank it, he blocked it with his sleeve and drank it carefully...... As expected, it was the batch of Jiuxian liquor he brought with him, and in October, the taste was indeed much softer.

You know, along the way, in order to avoid the bumps that cause the composition of the wine to change, these two hundred bottles of wine were covered with straw and carefully transported. Judging from today's taste, this effort has not been in vain.

Liu Hong put down the wine glass and pointed to the wine jug next to him, "A month or two ago, a businessman sold this wine fairy brew in Luoyang, with only a few bottles, and the highest bid was fifty yuan. The person who bought it was offered to the palace, and I only learned of the existence of this wine. ”

"Earlier, in fact, the minister had planned to send someone to send it, but at that time, the status of the minister had no way to send the wine to the palace. That's why I recently asked Zuo Huangmen to send it, and I asked my brother not to be surprised. Liu Tao hurriedly apologized.

"I'm even more curious, since you are carrying these two carts of wine with the army. So how can you guarantee that it can be sent to Luoyang? Liu Hong asked, sure enough, generally speaking, this matter will indeed make people care a lot.

"The minister originally thought that if he won a big victory all the way, then he would finally be able to pacify the Jizhou Yellow Turban, and he would naturally come to Luoyang with the army at that time. It's just that I didn't expect to meet Zuo Huangmen in Guangzong......" Liu Tao replied.

"So you asked him to help bring it over?" Liu Hong probably understood.

"After all, the weather was getting hotter and hotter at that time, the difference between the enemy and our forces was six times, and the other side occupied the convenience of defending the city. I can't say it, I have to wait until autumn to start the siege. At this time, Zuo Huangmen came over, so he simply stopped by ......" Liu Tao nodded.

"But as far as I know, you discovered the method of condensing water into ice." Liu Hong asked further.

"I also heard the Taoist priest mention it, but I don't know if this ice water condensed with saltpeter is poisonous, if there is a problem with the soldier's drinking, the minister will be a sinner." Liu Tao said with a palpitating look.

"Haven't you thought about putting a clay pot in the middle of the pool and relying on the frozen pool water to make the water in the clay pot cool?" Liu Hong didn't plan to let Liu Tao go so easily.

"At that time, during the march, more than 7,000 soldiers participated in the battle, and there were too many clay pots needed to be gathered for a while. So the teacher directly asked everyone to drink the water with saltpeter, and thought at that time that if they couldn't beat it this time, then it was not autumn, and it was estimated that they would not attack again, and they would no longer care about anything. Liu Tao replied.

"After the war, the non-commissioned soldier has no health problems?" Liu Hong asked.

"No, the soldier's body is very healthy, probably because of the less saltpeter." Liu Tao replied truthfully.

"Well, this discovery is very useful, whether it is the Banyu Rebellion two years earlier, or the Jiangxia Rebellion earlier, it is largely due to the hot weather in summer, so it led to the defeat of the crusading army." Liu Hong nodded when he heard this.

The biggest problem in the Yangtze River basin, as well as in the south of the Yangtze River, is heat. Secondly, miasma, poisons and water and soil are not adapted, and a solution can always be found. Nowadays, there is a method of condensing water into ice, and fighting in summer can also reduce a lot of scruples.

"The minister should have presented this law to ...... earlier" Liu Tao felt that at this time, it was right to take the initiative to apologize.

"You're not wrong to be worried, it's not good to give anything that hasn't been verified." Liu Hong shook his head, "Seriously, I sent Zuo Feng to inspect, and when he came back, he said that Lu Zhi was seizing the time to prepare and would conquer Guangzong as soon as possible." ”

After a pause, he continued: "As a result, a few days later, the good news of Guangzong's breakthrough came, and I once wondered if Lu Zhi deliberately did not fight in Guangzong's siege, wasting grain and grass, until I sent people over, knowing that Guangzong could not be defeated if he did not fight. ”

"Kindness governs the army, prudence is the top, the summer solstice has arrived, and the weather is ......hot," Liu Tao hurriedly explained.

That is, on the good news, there is a method of condensing water into ice, and I ordered people to try it, and found that it was indeed feasible, so I believed it a little. The only doubts you have just solved for me. Liu Hong said with a smile.

Then he looked at Liu Tao and said with a smile: "Assist Zou Jing to break the 50,000 Yellow Turban thieves, improve the riding equipment, improve the siege equipment, recover Zhongshan County, defeat Zhang Baobu in the Battle of Xiaquyang, and finally offer the method of ice condensation, and make the first contribution in the Battle of Guangzong......"

In fact, on Chaoge's side, he also repelled thousands of thieves from Chu Yan's department...... However, Liu Hong didn't mention it, and he didn't take the initiative to mention it.

"I have made such a great contribution, it is no less than Lu Zhi's merit, I am a little embarrassed, how to reward you better." Liu Hong looked interested, "Do you want to stay in Luoyang, or go to the place?" ”

"In his early years, he worshiped under Lu Zhimen, and then returned to Zhuoxian for a few years, he was quite stubborn and wild, and he was used to ......" Liu Tao was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to stay, no matter how good Luoyang was, it was a passing day, and there was no actual territory to recruit troops and buy horses.

"Think of the place," Liu Hong said slowly, "That's ...... can only give you a county order at most." ”

“…… Thunder, rain and dew are all imperial graces......" Liu Tao looked deferential, but in fact, he was already scolding in his heart.

"There is consciousness, but if you don't listen, stay in Luoyang, what position will I give you?" Liu Hong laughed, this performance was deferential, but he knew very well that Liu Tao must be complaining in his heart.

didn't wait for him to say anything, and directly solved the mystery: "I thought about it, the Yulin Army has not been reorganized and rebuilt for a while...... With your merits, I intend to make you the commander of the feather forest. Plus, now I'm giving you another chance to choose again. ”

On one side is the prefectural order, and on the other side is the general of the Yulin Nakaro.

The county order ranges from 600 to 1,000 stones, and the key is not yet known to the specific county; General Yulin Zhonglang, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, is the same as Lu Zhi's current Beizhong Lang General......

The Eastern Han Dynasty placed Yulin Zhonglang General, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, the main Yulin Lang, and the attendant of the guard. Under the jurisdiction of Yulin Zuo Jian one person, 600 stones. The main feather forest rode on the left, and Cheng was alone; Yulin right prison one person, six hundred stones. The main feather forest rode on the right, and Cheng was alone.

Look at this establishment, he served as the general of Yulin Zhonglang, Zhang Fei Guan Yu served as the left and right supervisors of Yulin, and Lu Yan and Jian Yong served as the left and right supervisors. Suddenly, I felt like I had been arranged.

Understood, Liu Hong wanted him to stay in Luoyang as an official and lead the guards, that is, the troops directly under him.

At the same time, there are also the guards who command the palace guards, and the Zhijinwu (lieutenant) who is in charge of the northern army and is responsible for patrolling, prohibiting violence, and supervising rape in the capital, and the three positions constitute the final defense system of Luoyang.

"The minister is His Majesty's courtier, and he is His Majesty's brother. Liu Tao said seriously.

"Which one to choose?" Liu Hong didn't plan to let him go like this.

"Yulin Zhonglang will ......" Liu Tao could only answer truthfully, such a credit is too embarrassing to be a county order.

"I like your sincerity." After Liu Hong finished speaking, he immediately laughed.
